27th July-1st August 2009

'Printmaking - Collagraph & Drypoint'
with Christine Tacq.

Monday to Saturday

The first three days of this course are essential for the step by step build up of working methods. A portable etching press and good quality materials will be shared to enable both beginners and more experienced printmakers to create fine-art prints with amazing tones, colours and textures. You will take home drypoint (velvety scratched line) prints drawn from observation and collagraph prints, inspired by layering and textures (be prepared to get inky). The course will help you develop a personal language through print, introducing, at the end of the week, simple printmaking for book forms and printing without a press.
CHRISTINE TACQ’s prints and artist's books are in many international collections. She works from 'The p’s & q’s Press', etching and letterpress studio in Thame. Having almost always taught printmaking, she also has a wide experience of working on exciting projects with all age groups.

Course Cost for 6 days £198.
£12 covers shared and starter materials with paper card
and some equipment available for sale during the week, as needed.
Non Refundable Deposit £50.
